Abstract

This manuscript probes into the burgeoning field of green and sustainable plastics, enlightening their crucial character in contesting the global plastic catastrophe. Having acknowledged the environmental challenges pertaining to conventional plastics, this study explores the multifaceted potential of sustainable alternatives. These variants were categorized based on their source material, biodegradability, recyclability, and carbon footprint. By embracing innovation and actively supporting the development and implementation of sustainable plastics, we can accelerate progress towards achieving these critical SDGs. We highlight the recent technological advancements showcasing novel green plastic production technologies. This study examines the diverse real-world applications of innovative sustainable plastics across numerous industries, highlighting their potential to contribute to a more efficient and environmentally friendly future. Ultimately, by advocating for continued research and technological expansion, we can harness the power of green plastics to build a sustainable and prosperous future.
